Sweet Tweets: #RakEmUp

"In order to procure a rather, shall we say, 'heated' tome on Pyromancy, I met an old contact of mine in the carnival district and barely made it out with all of my fingers and toes…and I didn't even enter any of the 'parties.' Honestly, I don't know how the Rakdos guild keeps getting new members. The life expectancy is less than a year after guild initiation, and I have yet to meet a cultist with over six months of membership that has both ears and eyes.

They all seem very happy, though, despite their injuries. They seem to enjoy life much more than the other guilds, however short those lives may be. They live for the moment and to hell with the rest, often quite literally. They are also one of the more racially diverse guilds, accepting anyone who is fiendish enough to keep up. It's a carefree existence.

Perhaps it's not so difficult to understand why they keep getting Fresh Volunteers."

Ain't no party like a Rakdos party because a Rakdos party is highly lethal. #mtgrtr
